  1. So, he's upset because it cost the democrats the election, NOT because telling Americans the truth is what their job is. Sigh.
  2. From Peanut Farmer to President: Former President Jimmy Carter Dead at 100. FTA: Once in office, his popularity gradually began to fade, partly because of his drift to the Left. He supported the legalization of abortion by the courts, and his first act in office was to pardon all Vietnam War draft dodgers. In some ways, it was the McGovern agenda without the McGovern political baggage. His aides were often inexperienced in the ways of Washington, and like the only other engineer elected president, Herbert Hoover, Carter had an unfounded faith in his ability to both lead and micromanage his administration. While in office, he created the Department of Energy and the Department of Education. In a hotly contested decision, he gave away the American-built Panama Canal. He faced an energy crisis sparked by war in the Middle East and an Arab oil embargo, which Carter called the “moral equivalent of war.” But critics saw his address to the nation on the energy crisis while wearing a sweater as a sign of weakness in American global leadership. He seemed to ask Americans to get by with less and lower national expectations. In a struggling economy, he provided the equivalent of $11 billion to bail out a failing Chrysler Corporation as Japanese car imports flooded the struggling American automobile market. In his famous “malaise speech” towards the end of his term, he epitomized the economic malaise the nation was experiencing under his leadership with high gas prices, inflation, and slow economic growth. https://pjmedia.com/gregbyrnes/2024/12/29/former-president-jimmy-carter-dead-at-99-n4929045 Don’t believe the Jimmy Carter revisionists https://www.jns.org/dont-believe-the-jimmy-carter-revisionists/

Tobin: Don’t believe the Jimmy Carter revisionists. Despite the natural sympathy for a dying man, the revisionist attempt to erase his failures and their consequences should not prevail: https://www.jns.org/dont-believe-the-jimmy-carter-revisionists/ .
  4. The following is a prayer from Carter’s inaugural address, January 20, 1977. I would like to have my frequent prayer answered that God let my life be meaningful in the enhancement of His kingdom and that my life might be meaningful in the enhancement of the lives of my fellow human beings. He was not a very good president, but certainly was an inspiration to everyone by the way he lived his life post-presidency. "Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen".
  5. Democrats Still Talking About What Happened and Just as Clueless Eric Abbenante ...But also there are clear hostility about immigration, which to many of us in blue states and sitting in a place like New York seems like, well, how can that be possible? I would sit in focus group was with Hispanic voters. They would talk about immigration and you would swear to God you were sitting in a room with a bunch of cranky white guys from from Missouri, not Hispanic voters, when you were talking about immigration." Maybe it wasn't the 'old white guys' who were cranky, but the people judging them for merely standing up for themselves. They're gonna be wandering in the wilderness talking to themselves a long time
  6. Joe Biden Is No Longer In Touch With Reality by Matt Margolis Is President Joe Biden making any decisions anymore? Who knows? Probably not. Heck, it was debatable from day one whether he was the one actually in charge of his administration. Well, now he’s made it crystal clear that he’s utterly disconnected from reality. According to White House insiders, Biden is reportedly lamenting his decision to to drop out of the presidential election, and—try not to laugh—he still believes he could have easily defeated Donald Trump had he stayed in the race. Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/12/28/joe-biden-proves-hes-no-longer-in-touch-with-reality-n4935491
  7. Deleting Evidence of Anti-Trump Bias? Jack Smith’s Team of Prosecutors Panic, Comb Through Their Communications to Make Sure They Haven’t Written Anything That Could be Subpoenaed by Cristina Laila The hunters are becoming the hunted. Earlier this month it was reported that Jack Smith’s team of partisan prosecutors are lawyering up as they brace for President Trump. According to Rolling Stone, Jack Smith’s team of prosecutors are also combing through their private and professional communications to make sure they haven’t written anything that can be subpoenaed. Are they deleting evidence of misconduct and anti-Trump bias? Late last month Jack Smith moved to dismiss both federal cases against President Trump as Trump plans to go scorched earth and fire the special counsel’s entire team of prosecutors. Jack Smith asked to dismiss both the January 6 case and classified documents case against President Trump. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/deleting-evidence-anti-trump-bias-jack-smiths-team/
  8. What were the 3 regulations Trump passed on H-1B? During Trump's presidency, three key regulations on H-1B visas were: DOL Wage Rule: Increased minimum wage requirements for H-1B workers. DHS Specialty Occupation Definition: Tightened the definition of "specialty occupation," making it harder for positions to qualify for H-1B visas. DHS Employer-Employee Relationship: Limited H-1B visa validity to one year for workers at third-party sites, changing employer-employee relationship
  9. I want to explain how political coalitions work. Political coalitions happen when people who may disagree on many things work together to achieve the things they DO agree on, because those issues they agree on are more important than what divides them. This concept is what defines parliamentary systems, but it also defines the U.S. two-party system because it relates to swaying “independent” voters to one party or the other. Importantly, once a coalition achieves power, it must stay together or it can never succeed in the core missions that brought it together in the first place. I’ll illustrate. Suppose there is a country with a two-party system, and its president gets elected because he pulls together a disparate coalition that is united by the idea that it should be illegal to put ketchup on steak. “Make Steak Great Again!” was its unifying rallying cry, and as a result 51% of the country’s voters voted for the No Ketchup candidate. At the same time, that 51% coalition was also split evenly on the issue of pineapple on pizza. However, during the election season, everyone in the coalition silently agreed not to discuss or argue over the pineapple issue as the ketchup issue was far more important. After the No Ketchup party wins but before it even takes office, a few media bomb throwers working for the Yes Ketchup Party convince the 51% coalition members to bludgeon each other to death over the pineapple issue, fracturing the coalition along pineapple lines. As a result, the No Ketchup leader is rendered completely ineffective because the mandate of his coalition has vanished, the No Ketchup Party loses the mid-term elections and suddenly steaks everywhere are smothered in ketchup and homeless illegal immigrants are running amok in cities, flashmobbing into downtown restaurants where they pour cheap, bootleg corn-syrup ketchup willy-nilly on everyone’s steak and there is nothing that anyone can do about it, because it’s all legal. All because the 51% could not agree to disagree on the far less important pineapple pizza issue. That, Charlie Brown, is how political coalitions work.
  10. Writes it over and over, in thread after thread. Proves that he does not understand much, just projects his longings. People are against illegal immigration. Still counting on prediction articles to try and justify his weak positions.
  11. Full text: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "I don't look into Anthony Fauci's head. I don't look into Bill Gates head. I don't say, he did this because he was greedy or because he was manipulative. I just lay out what they did and the story speaks for itself. And, you know, it's a story of, really, of people involved in really terrible, terrible, immoral, homicidal, criminal behavior." "And using a position in government that that he had for 50 years, without any election, to clamp down these totalitarian controls that were not science based and that everybody now admits there was no science. In fact, yesterday, the chief attorney for FDA admitted that there was no reason." "He admitted because he lost the case in court against the doctor. But there was no reason to discourage people from taking Ivermectin. Ivermectin was a was a very, very devastating cure for COVID." "It literally obliterated COVID. And, you know, by depriving people of Ivermectin, we many, many people, millions of people around the globe died. And they didn't need to. There were cures for COVID from day 1, a very effective cures. And but they didn't want that." "They wanted the vaccine only. And there was a rule there's a rule of, you know, little known federal rule that they were they were all aware of which said that you cannot issue an emergency use authorization for a vaccine if there is an existing remedy that has already been approved for any use." "So if they admitted that hydroxychloroquine or famotidine or ivermectin or any of the 25 existing therapeutic drugs that were very effective against COVID, if they admitted that any of them were effective, the whole vaccine project would have fallen apart. They couldn't have done it. And, and so they decided that they were going to pretend that there was no cure, except for the vaccine." "And they gave people a product that was not properly tested, and that now, if a whole generation of kids that has now, you know, got myocarditis, these terrible heart problems in young athletic boys, You're seeing so many kids now drop dead on playing fields. Right. And that we never saw anything like this before. On average, it was, I think, 29 a month globally, athletes who died on the field. And we were getting down to 100 a month now." "And it's, you know, and there there still has to be a reckoning. The mainstream media hasn't caught up with the science, But the science is out there now, and it's devastating." .
  12. Landslide. "Remarkably, Trump’s margin of victory in Florida in 2024 was larger than Kamala Harris’s in New York." "Such a result seemed unthinkable until it happened. In the seven prior presidential elections, the margin of victory in New York generally exceeded that in Florida by more than 20 percentage points.... In the more than 35 years since Ronald Reagan left office in January 1989, no other presidential candidate of either party has won Florida by even half as much as Trump did in 2024.... The ribbon of interconnected states running through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa has held vital importance for American presidential elections for more than 150 years.... In presidential races spanning 1996 through 2012, Republican candidates won the respective contests in those five key states just 12 percent of the time (three wins, 22 losses). In the subsequent three elections, Trump won the battles in those states 80 percent of the time (12 wins, 3 losses). Trump’s success in Ohio and Iowa is particularly remarkable.... Trump also gained ground in uncompetitive states, such as New York, New Jersey, and West Virginia...." Writes Jeffrey H. Anderson, in "How Trump Remade the Electoral Map/The president-elect has shaken up state-level results across his three campaigns" (City Journal). https://www.city-journal.org/article/donald-trump-election-2024-electoral-map?skip=1
